Weymouth - Mon 28 May 2007 (Bank Hol) - Merchant Royal
Merchant Royal



The Merchant Royal was a British cargo steamer, formerly known as the Goodwood. She was 5.008 tons, 416ft long and had a beam of 55ft. She was built in 1920 by J Redhead & Sons at Sunderland and was fitted with a huge Doxford triple-expansion three-cylinder steam engine. On the 3rd July 1946, carrying her cargo of steel and wood, she collided with another vessel and sank. Attempts to rescue her by tugs despatched from Portland were in vain.

She lies in about 57 metres of water with her bows blown off but her mid section and stern are upright, listing heavily to starboard.

I've been speaking with Smudge again at Scimitar Diving

Excellent tides for another headline wreck out of Weymouth

Ideally 8 as a min due to distance, 10 max due to kit. Cost £40 inc lunch. Usual YD Trip rules; you say, you pay.

Loading from 11:00, ropes off 11:55 for the 12:00 bridge

Son, you're going to have to make up your mind about growing up and becoming aircrew. You can't do both.

The aircraft limits are only there in case there is another flight by that particular aircraft. If subsequent flights do not appear likely, there are no limits.
